'''Joshua Redman''' (born February 1, 1969) is an American [[jazz]] saxophonist and composer. He is the son of jazz saxophonist [[Dewey Redman]] (1931–2006).

==Life and career==
Joshua Redman was born in [[Berkeley, California]], to jazz saxophonist [[Dewey Redman]] and dancer and librarian Renee Shedroff.<ref>{{cite web|last=Hitchner |first=Earle |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB958704665255939093?mod=googlewsj |title=Sax Man Joshua Redman Wails About Life |website=Online.wsj.com |date=May 19, 2000 |access-date=2013-05-12}}</ref> He is Jewish.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2009/06/this-is-what-happens-when-blacks-and-jews-get-together/18458/|title=This is What Happens When Blacks and Jews Get Together|first=Jeffrey|last=Goldberg|date=June 2, 2009|website=Theatlantic.com|access-date=May 12, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/joshua_redman/status/585508396796874754?lang=en|title=admittedly, i'm jewish, so not totally clear on how all this works|first=Joshua|last=Redman|date=April 7, 2015|publisher=[[Twitter]]|access-date=May 12, 2019}}</ref> He was exposed to many kinds of music at the Center for World Music in Berkeley, where his mother studied South Indian dance. Some of his earliest lessons in music and improvisation were on recorder with [[gamelan]] player [[Jody Diamond]]. He was exposed at an early age to a variety of musics and instruments and began playing clarinet at age nine before switching to what became his primary instrument, the [[tenor saxophone]], one year later. Redman has said he is self-taught on the saxophone and has cited [[John Coltrane]], [[Ornette Coleman]], [[Cannonball Adderley]], his father [[Dewey Redman]], as well as the [[The Beatles|Beatles]], [[Aretha Franklin]], [[The Temptations]], [[Earth, Wind and Fire]], [[Prince (musician)|Prince]], [[The Police]] and [[Led Zeppelin]] as musical influences.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bio|url=http://www.joshuaredman.com/bio|website=Joshuaredman.com|access-date=July 30, 2013|archive-date=August 8, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130808075427/http://www.joshuaredman.com/bio|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Redman graduated from [[Berkeley High School, California|Berkeley High School]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/jazz/biography/artist_id_redman_joshua.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010129093300/http://www.pbs.org/jazz/biography/artist_id_redman_joshua.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 29, 2001|title=PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Selected Artist Biography - Joshua Redman|website=Pbs.org}}</ref> class of 1986, after having been a part of the award-winning Berkeley High School Jazz Ensemble for all four years of high school. After graduation, Joshua frequented the classroom jam sessions of Bay Area pianist and professor of music (at Laney College in Oakland, California), Ed Kelly. It was there that he performed alongside saxophonist [[Robert Stewart (saxophonist)|Robert Stewart]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-01-31-ca-26284-story.html|title=A Young Saxman Gets Sound Advice From Jazz Giants|first=BILL|last=KOHLHAASE|date=January 31, 1995|website=Articles.latimes.com|access-date=July 25, 2018}}</ref>

In 1991, he graduated [[summa cum laude]] with a degree in [[Committee on Degrees in Social Studies|social studies]] from [[Harvard University]], where he was a member of [[Phi Beta Kappa]]. He had already been accepted by [[Yale Law School]], but deferred entrance for what he believed was only going to be one year. Some of his friends had recently relocated to Brooklyn, and they were looking for another housemate to help with the rent. Redman accepted their invitation to move in, and almost immediately he found himself immersed in the New York jazz scene. He began jamming and gigging regularly with some of the leading jazz musicians of his generation and that of his father, including [[Brad Mehldau]], [[Peter Martin (jazz pianist)|Peter Martin]], [[Mark Turner (musician)|Mark Turner]], [[Peter Bernstein (guitarist)|Peter Bernstein]], [[Roy Hargrove]], [[Christian McBride]], [[Kevin Hays]], [[Jorge Rossy]], [[Pat Metheny]], [[Charlie Haden]] and [[Billy Higgins]], among others.

Redman won the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Saxophone Competition in 1991, and began focusing on his musical career. He was signed by Warner Bros. Records and issued his first self-titled album in the spring of 1993, which subsequently earned Redman his first Grammy nomination. He continued to develop his style throughout the 1990s, beginning with a sideman appearance on [[Elvin Jones]]' ''Youngblood'' alongside [[Javon Jackson]], and following up with an appearance on his father Dewey's 1992 record ''Choices''. On his second album as a leader, ''Wish'', he was joined by a notable lineup consisting of guitarist [[Pat Metheny]], bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Billy Higgins; this group then toured as ''The Joshua Redman Quartet'', featuring Christian McBride in place of Charlie Haden. He continued to work with various quartets, including one with pianist Brad Mehldau until forming a new trio, ''Elastic'', with keyboardist [[Sam Yahel]] and drummer [[Brian Blade]]. The trio debuted under the moniker ''Yaya3'', producing one album under this name. The same group of musicians made up the core on Redman's ''Elastic'' album, before becoming known as the ''Joshua Redman Elastic Band''. Some of his works were featured on [[The Weather Channel (United States)|The Weather Channel]]'s ''Local on the 8s''. Redman performed in a fictitious supergroup, "The Louisiana Gator Boys", in the 1998 film ''[[Blues Brothers 2000]]'', performing on "[[How Blue Can You Get]]?" and "[[New Orleans (Gary U.S. Bonds song)|New Orleans]]". Redman also appeared alongside [[Roy Hargrove]] and others on a series of albums released in the 1990s on [[RCA Novus]] by the Jazz Networks, an ensemble of American and Japanese musicians who focused on re-interpreting jazz standards primarily for the Japanese market.

===2000s===
In 1999, Joshua Redman was immortalized in the children's TV show ''[[Arthur (TV series)|Arthur]]'' on [[PBS]]. He appeared in the tenth episode of the fourth season ("My Music Rules"), where it was rumored by the characters that he would get in a fight with famed cellist [[Yo-Yo Ma]], who also appeared in the episode. Instead, when the two meet they are revealed to be fans of each other's music and collaborate together on a song to entertain children.

In 2000, Redman was named Artistic Director for the Spring Season of the non-profit jazz-presenting organization [[SFJAZZ Collective|SFJAZZ]]. Redman co-founded the SFJAZZ with Executive Director Randall Kline, as the [[SFJAZZ Collective]], an ensemble distinguished by the creativity of its members and a primary emphasis on composition.

In 2004, Redman first sat in with [[Umphrey's McGee]] at their performance in [[Boston, Massachusetts]], at the [[Paradise Rock Club]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://allthings.umphreys.com/setlists/?date=2004-02-18|title=Umphrey's McGee - Music - Setlists - Stats|website=All Things Umphrey's McGee|access-date=July 25, 2018}}</ref> Redman has collaborated with Umphrey's McGee around 20 times since,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.popmatters.com/review/umphreys-mcgee-goes-full-metal-jacket-in-la/|title=Umphrey's McGee Goes Full Metal Jacket in LA + Interview|date=May 6, 2016|website=Popmatters.com|access-date=July 25, 2018}}</ref> including an all-improvised set in [[Madison, Wisconsin]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://liveforlivemusic.com/show-reviews/umphreys-mcgee-plays-all-improv-set-with-joshua-redman-in-madison-video-gallery/|title=Umphrey's McGee Plays All-Improv Set With Joshua Redman In Madison [Video/Gallery]|date=January 29, 2016|website=Liveforlivemusic.com|access-date=July 25, 2018}}</ref> in January 2016.

In 2006, he performed with the New Zealand Symphony orchestra in composer [[John Psathas|John Psathas']] concerto for saxophone and drumkit, Omnifenix, which was released in Rattle Records' album, View from Olympus. The album won [http://www.rattlerecords.net/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=3&category_id=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=82 Best Classical Album for 2007] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170413134748/http://www.rattlerecords.net/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=3&category_id=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=82 |date=April 13, 2017 }} in the New Zealand music awards.

[[File:Joshua-Redman.jpg|thumb|Redman at [[Seattle]]'s Jazz Alley in 2009]]

In March 2007, Redman announced that he was taking a hiatus from both the SFJAZZ Artistic Directorship and the SFJAZZ Collective in order to focus on new projects. In April 2007, Nonesuch released Redman's first ever piano-less trio record, ''Back East'', featuring Joshua alongside three bass and drum rhythm sections ([[Larry Grenadier]] & [[Ali Jackson (jazz drummer)|Ali Jackson]], Christian McBride & Brian Blade, [[Reuben Rogers]] & [[Eric Harland]]) and three guest saxophonists (Chris Cheek, Joe Lovano and Dewey Redman). His January 2009 release, ''Compass'', continued the trio tradition, and even included some tracks with a double-trio setup, featuring saxophone, two basses and two drummers.

===2010s===
Starting in late 2009, Redman began performing with a new collaborative band called James Farm, featuring pianist [[Aaron Parks]], bassist Matt Penman and drummer Eric Harland. They released their first self-titled album on April 26, 2011 and their follow-up album, ''City Folk'' on October 27, 2014.

In 2011, Redman was also an inaugural member of the Independent Music Awards' judging panel to support independent artists.<ref>[http://www.independentmusicawards.com/ima_new/pastjudges.asp Independent Music Awards – Past Judges] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110713024722/http://www.independentmusicawards.com/ima_new/pastjudges.asp |date=July 13, 2011 }}</ref><ref>[http://www.independentmusicawards.com/ima/judges/11th-annual-ima-judges/ "11th Annual IMA Judges]. Independent Music Awards. Retrieved on September 4, 2013.</ref>

In early 2013, it was announced that Redman would release a new collection of vintage and contemporary ballads featuring a jazz quartet and an orchestral ensemble titled ''Walking Shadows.'' Produced by Redman's friend and frequent collaborator Brad Mehldau, the album also features Larry Grenadier (bass) and Brian Blade (drums). It was released on May 7, 2013 on Nonesuch. About Walking Shadows, the New York Times says "there hasn’t been a more sublimely lyrical gesture in his 20-year recording career."

On Sunday, December 8, 2013, Redman joined a group of jazz all-stars onstage at the [[Kennedy Center Honors]] in Washington, D.C., to pay tribute to honoree [[Herbie Hancock]] in performance. The event aired on December 29, 2013 on CBS.

In 2015, Redman received his third Grammy nomination for his solo on "Friend or Foe" from the album ''The Bad Plus Joshua Redman''.
